The course has been developed in consultation with senior managers and employers to meet assistant and support workers' education and training requirements across all health and social care services. It can lead to employment as an assistant practitioner.

It offers a range of modules to support their continuing personal and professional development, whether they work in health, social or community care. A practice assessor and academic tutor support them throughout their studies.
Routes currently available include (subject to demand): radiography, adult nursing, mental health nursing, learning disabilities nursing, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and perioperative care.
